Thankfully, Android has a lot of features specifically built for visually impaired people. If you have an Android smartphone, chances are there are several features to assist you in the accessibility option menu. Until the braille smartphone display comes out, we have to rely on sound cues and clever apps designed to assist blind people in accessing the basic functionality of their smartphones. We already have some helpful Android apps for blind people, but we can definitely use advancement in the hardware technology to further expand the functionality. Note: These five apps were tested on a Sony Xperia Z smartphone. Unfortunately, I was not able to ask an actual blind person to test these apps out for me, so I’m only relying on the reviews here. I did test them as well as I could, and all the apps performed perfectly fine and no problems were faced during testing.

Conclusion:
These were a few Android apps for blind people and I think they can be useful in day-to-day life, however, I feel that the impact may not be exactly life changing at this point. Maybe one day we will have full Google Glass integration and visually impaired people will be able to get live information about their surroundings. I feel that we are on the brink of new innovations and we will see improvements in coming years.In the meantime, I’ll keep watch on any innovative apps coming out that can help visually impaired people.
